Regent's Stroll¹¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| D

7/2

Expensive purchase who justified a prominent position in the market when scoring at Ascot on debut. Off almost 4 months since but he has plenty of potential and is worth a chance to maintain his unbeaten record.

Form: 1

Andashan⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Rex Dingle| T: C Gordon| D

17/2

Knew his job when landing a 9-runner bumper at Kempton 43 days ago but there's every chance he'll improve on it, so definite player.

Form: 1

Crest Of Fortune¹⁰²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: J J Burke| T: A J Honeyball

7/2

Related to several winners an looked a nice prospect when making a successful start at Wincanton 102 days ago, going away at the finish. Open to improvement and likely to be on the premises.

Form: 1

Authentic Legacy⁸²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: David Noonan| T: G & J Moore

6/1

Half-brother to 3 winners, including dual bumper winner Moonamacaroona. Plenty of encouragement on debut when fourth in listed contest at Cheltenham and should make a big impact in calmer waters.

Form: 4

Big Ginge⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Mr Jamie Neild| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

20/1

Related to a couple of winners (including in a bumper) and showed something to work on when third of 12 at Huntingdon 44 days ago. Likely to step forward from that, so not ruled out.

Form: 3

Clever One^h1

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: James Bowen| T: S R B Crawford

25/1

£28,000 3-y-o, Affinisea gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to smart hurdler/high-class chaser (winner up to 23f) Hidden Cyclone. Wears hood. From a good family and not dismissed on debut.

14/1

£16,000 3-y-o, Passing Glance gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler/chaser Uncle Alastair and fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Movie Legend. Worth a market check.

12/1

£75,000 3-y-o, Diamond Boy gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/chaser Lord Baddesley and bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Robins Reef. Looks the pick of the newcomers on paper.

Form:

Double Dragon⁹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Ben Godfrey| T: A J Honeyball

33/1

Cheap purchase but stable does well in this sphere and he offered plenty of encouragement when fourth in a Hereford bumper 3 months ago. Open to improvement.

Form: 4

Green Splendour

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Ben Bromley| T: S R B Crawford

22/1

£30,000 3-y-o, Mount Nelson gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful 19f/21f hurdle winner Smiling Getaway. Trainer’s newcomers are worthy of respect.

Gwennie May Jem

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

10/1

Manatee gelding. Dam unraced. Little to go on pedigree wise but preferred by Harry Skelton, so not discounted.

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Fergus Gillard| T: D Skelton

25/1

£38,000 3-y-o, Masterstroke gelding. Dam placed 2 of 3 starts over hurdles. One to monitor in the betting for shrewd stable.

25/1

£50,000 3-y-o, Doctor Dino gelding. Half-brother to fair French chaser Fortasta. Dam lightly raced over hurdles/fences in France. Stable’s first-timers usually merit respect.

Forecasts

Regent's Stroll (7/2), Crest Of Fortune (7/2), Authentic Legacy (6/1), Andashan (17/2), Gwennie May Jem (10/1), Don't Mind If I Do (12/1), Dance And Glance (14/1), Big Ginge (20/1), Green Splendour (22/1), Interchangeable (22/1), Lagertha (25/1), Gwennie May Star (25/1), Tikiti Dino (25/1), Clever One (25/1), Double Dragon (33/1), Windsurfer (33/1), Kiss Me Moon (50/1), Tom Taggle (66/1), Lawsky (66/1), Formel Park (150/1), Lennie Godber (150/1)

This has the makings of an above-average contest but REGENT'S STROLL looked a good prospect at Ascot first time out and he may be up to defying a penalty. Fellow debut winner Crest of Fortune is a danger and Authentic Legacy needs considering after a solid start in a listed event at Cheltenham.
